Capt John r. Dillon. who was in com
mand of the veterans, formed them in the
lobby Of the court house. There was a large
crowd on hand to witness the departure,
and many of the young men who had served
for year or two in the militia stood by
with critical eve to see whether the old
vets had forgotten the way or a quarter of
a century ago. Captain Dillon gave the
order TO count tours, and some of them
counted up as high as SIX, but they straight
ened everything out bye and bye, and
marched out TO Join their escort.
The Cadets were drawn up in line on
President street, and as the veterans

The Fires and the Facts.

Editor Morning NetCS: II is fact that
cotton is everywhere carried by rail on open
cars, and by river steamers ON open decks
and that it stands unsheltered IN cotton
yards at the railway depots-in all these
positions it is constantly exposed to showers
of sparks and cinders, yet the percentage of
fires under these conditions is not appreci-
ably greater than in any close warehouse.
II is a fact that cotton is being constantly
transported along this city front by lighters;
that the greater part of this cotton goes to
the codSttCise steamships and to the presses,
and yet fires do no not occur at these points
nor under these conditions.
It is q fdct that all the fires occur on one
class of ships, and at one stage of the
loading, TO wit: on tramp steamer, and
at or near the time when her loading is
complete
II is a fact that fire cannot be for any
length of time ''smoldering" in the confined
hold of ship without making itself appar-
ent to those who are at work there. Assum-
ing these data to he correct (and it is all a
simple question of fact, the field of research
in an effort to locate the cause Of fires is
narrowed down to "A tramp steamship, and
to near the hour or day when she is finished
loading. Surely this ground can be easily
covered by any ordinary intelligence.
II is q fact %. r. d. that the action of
counsel in Illuminating its anathemas against
the lighters is an attack on the wrong man
"a "popes bull against the comet and
that it can have no more effect on the fires
in question unless it be to divert attention
from the real cause) than that celebrated
edict had on the celestial fire.
